[ThinLTO] Remove dead and dropped symbol declarations when possible
Summary:
Removing the dropped symbols will prevent indirect call promotion in the
ThinLTO Backend from adding a new reference to a symbol, which can
result in linker unsats. This can happen when we compile with a sample
profile collected from one binary by used for another, which may have
profiled targets that aren't used in the new binary.
Note that until dropDeadSymbols handles variables and aliases (in
progress), we may not be able to remove the declaration and can still
have an issue.
